Hypothetical question: If I saw Bowe Bergdahl at the clothing and sales and called him a traitor to his face, would I get in trouble?

SGT David T. , well stated

1stSgt (Join to see) - I see this all the time today. Anyone accused of a crime is crucified in the court or public opinion regardless if they are guilty or not. I feel this is wrong. We have courts for a reason and should let them determine what is factual. Sadly, I doubt this kid will get a fair trial since most folks have already made up their mind about him.

I agree with you in principle and for those of us with no connection to him we should sit back and watch. However, there are men that know what happened and were personally impacted by his actions. They deserve the right to confront him if they're so inclined.

SSG Nana Togonmessie Abloklu Danfira Adedufira - They should let the justice system do its thing. The facts will come out fully at his court martial. There are always 3 sides to every story: yours, mine, and the truth. 9 times out of 10 the truth is somewhere in between mine and yours.

SSG James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4" - Can I get a little badge or trophy by my name?

Oh shit, Skipper f'ing nailed it.

CPT Mark Gonzalez, Bowe could always hang out with Jane Fonda.

innocent until proven guilty, my own thoughts dont matter, it's up to to the the legal proceedings

Exactly. No sense getting into it. First, you could get into trouble for acting unprofessionally or for trying to provoke a fight. And second, you know what they say about trying to start a fight with a stupid person... I don't think this situation is much different.

Agreed, Bergdahl is public and protected.
